We started today’s class with a short recap on what we have done so far

Terminology and formatting options

Adding Character - If you choose the right font it can convey the thing you are trying to talk about

JUST RELAX

just relax

the bottom text will be seen as more chill ( I can’t change font types on notion but you get the idea)

BBC Reith - this is the font that BBC uses, named after John Reith.

it is literally Helvetica but with more space lol

Their main priority was to make the font legible as well as not go below the descender line as they struggled to fit the text on the screen.

They also created a serif version as well, as well as creating multiple weights from light to extra bold.

Another example of font character with weights and font types:

Who are you talking to

To whom are you talking?

You talking to me?

We then did an exercise on Figma about building character, we have to create character for the text of Frankenstein
